The Military Tribunal on the Dakota Trials is a specialized judicial body simulating the aftermath of the United States-Dakota War of 1862, focusing on the controversial military commission that sentenced over 300 Dakota men to death, most being later pardoned by President Abraham Lincoln. This tribunal explores topics such as ethics in war, indigenous rights and accountability. Delegates, simulating judges, prosecutors and generals in this war tribunal will analyze evidence, cross examine witnesses, and apply the law of that time. This committee provides an important perspective on the justice and moral conflict of this case.
Dear Delegates, Thank you for your interest in the TimișoaraMUN conference! We would like to inform you that the debate topics for the committee have not yet been finalized, the selection process is ongoing within the General Secretariat.
